broken crank sensor clip

I just put in a new engine and noticed that I broke the clip for the crank sensor. I tried to replace it but its hitting the frame. Is there any other option to replace the sensor without lifting the engine?

Hmm... I don't believe anyone here has broken a crank sensor --at least not on a SW. Congratulations, you're in first place!

I put in a new engine I guess one of the harness broke the clip. The only way for me to replace it to lift the engine about an inch. The sensor still works, just have to tape the plug to prevent from coming off. Just want to replace it as a preventative

is it the sensor at the left side of the engine ,next to the thermo valve?
i tried to removed the sensor to change the o ring today but just cannot get it out.
wat stupid deign is it?

Probably the "stupid design" that makes the scoot' easier to assemble at Honda.
Honda likely fully assembles and maybe even tests the engine before installing on scoot'.
Unfortunate, indeed.

That is correct. My clip broke because the harness of the engine hoist. I fired it up the other day and its working now

here is my FSC600 that I bought for $650 with broken engine. I got the motor with 2800 miles for $700+ tax

i got a bad oil leak at that sensor therefore trying to replace the o ring to solve the problem.
